I wasn’t expecting much of this tea, as I haven’t been terribly impressed with much of what I’ve gotten from DAVIDs. I was actually surprised at how much depth I got from this tea.
The flavors are malt and earth for the most part, with just the very slightest hint of bitterness. Below that is a very nice sweet potato and dark chocolate flavor, but not as strong as some other Yunnan blacks I have had. There is a mineral tang on the finish of the flavor.
Overall, I would say this is a very low grade Yunnan black. For the price of this tea, it would be better to stick with other sources.
